Dr Parker in Cape is well worth the wait for an appointment! How refreshing to appear for your first one & discover right off how much thought went into your first visit,! The waiting room is large but has a great deal of area designed for privacy. The short wait to be seen is nearly unheard of. Staff very friendly but also quite accommodating & considerate knowing our situation & often age restrictions. Its a rare visit that makes you feel valued & important as well. Dr. Parker was very good, effecient & explained things making sure your questions or concerns are answered. Im so HAPPY l chose Dr. Parker & his great practice!

Dr. Parker was awesome throughout the whole procedure. He kept me informed and explained everything that was happening. His staff is also super nice and helpful. When I walked out of his office after surgery I could already see so much better. Less than 24 hours later I had 20/20 vision! It is truly amazing to be able to see so great with no glasses. I will recommend Dr. Parker to everyone!

I’ve been wearing contacts and glasses for 30 years. NO MORE! I can see unassisted for the first time and it feels amazing. Dr. Parker and his team have this down to a science and I couldn’t recommend them more highly! Just do it!

Such a great experience all around! Dr. Parker is great! He explained the procedure in detail at my appointment prior to surgery, talked me through the surgery to let me know what he was doing as he was doing it and what to expect, and answered all the questions I had. I could see better almost immediately and the recovery time was minimal. I would definitely recommend Dr. Parker and Eye Care Specialists.a

Dr. Parker and staff were very knowledgeable and welcoming of all questions/concerns. They gave you all necessary information and the process was flawless. I arrived at 9:50am and was back in my hotel preparing to take my sleeping pill induced 3 hour nap just before noon. I’m so glad I decided to make the investment to go glasses free. For almost 20 years I woke up unable to make out objects. I woke up Saturday morning with 20/20 vision. Thank you Dr. Parker and everyone on the Lasik team. You’ve changed my life.

Within 3 weeks of me calling and setting up my consultation I had my Lasik Surgery. I am almost to my 1 week follow up and its amazing how well I can see. Katie was great with explaining the finances and what to expect. Lori was awesome in walking me through the different exams. During the procedure Dr Parker explained every step during the process. The only problem I am having is I am beating myself up for not doing the surgery years ago. Its a real blessing having your sight returned to you.

From scheduling, to the pre-op appointment, to surgery day, to my post op follow up, Dr. Parker and his staff were professional, friendly and very helpful throughout the whole process. Dr. Parker’s staff handles each case individually and are knowledgeable in answering every question. They walk you through each step of the process which allowed me to feel comfortable going into the procedure. Dr Parker is exceptional and helped calm my nerves while undergoing the procedure. He explains each step before it happens and tells you exactly what to do and what you may experience throughout that specific part of the procedure! It was amazing to walk out of the procedure with the ability to already see signs across the street! Within the same day, I began seeing much more clear and precise! I loved waking up the following morning being able to see without having to put in contacts or hunt down my glasses! Post op day 1, I was evaluated and able to see 20/20! Nothing but positive feedback for this group and Dr. Parker! Thank you for making my experience a great one!!

I had LASIK on November 2, 2018. I would first like to say that the whole experience was amazing from start to finish. The staff was so kind and caring. Dr. Parker performed my procedure and he and his staff let me know what was going on throughout the procedure. I felt reassured and comfortable during the entire surgery. I’m on day two and my vision is 20/20. I’m so thankful I chose Eye Care Specialists and Dr. Shawn Parker.

Dr. Parker and his staff have been amazing. I am only seven weeks out since my standard ilasik procedure and I am seeing better now than I have in over 10 years, and that was when I needed/used contacts to walk around my own house! :) Dr. Parkers availability at various offices in Southern Illinois has made the evaluation and follow up process so quick and convenient. His staff in each office are so genuinely friendly and helpful. I would recommend everyone looking into lasik surgery to call Dr. Parkers office to schedule their free consultation. This experience has been excellent in every way!

Dr. Parker’s office is wonderful. He is the star doctor we are paying for but it’s the staff who run it like a well-oiled machine that make it a 5 Star experience. I cannot recommend this place enough! Don’t go anywhere else.

What a wonderful surgeon and amazing office staff. From start to finish they made the whole experience truly amazing!! They called to confirm my appointments, check on my progress and to make sure all my needs were met. I was nervous on the day of my Lasik procedure and they made me feel like family. I’m seeing 20/20 and couldn’t be happier. Thank you Dr. Parker and staff for giving me back my sight. I highly recommend Eye Care Specialists!

My experiences at Dr. Parkers office, both with him and his staff, form the example that all other medical professionals should seek to emulate.From the friendly, personable staff, the comfortable waiting area, provided refreshments, the kind patient liason, and the non-pressure approach of payment and scheduling, my experience with Dr. Parker has positively influenced my view of the medical world.I had corrective laser surgery performed on both eyes. Dr. Parker was very personable before, during, and after the surgery. His instructions were very clear and he was very forthcoming with information. During the procedure he calmly narrated what was happening and what was going to happen next, something that helps with nerves extensively. I was also impressed with his various and varied credentials, not so much that he had acquired so many, but that he is just what a medical doctor should be: someone who continually seeks to expand, brush up on, or otherwise improve his education and experiences. This is a rare trait to find in anyone in a professional field and it is one that I respect greatly and that told me, more than anything else, that this was definitely the doctor I wanted controlling the laser.To summarize, the way in which Dr. Parker and his stuff (I must apologize, I only remember Lori as the other person I talked to often and I probably spelled her name wrong) should serve as the gold standard to medical professionals in how they carry themselves, their staff, and their practice in general.Thank you. Dr. Parker.It goes without saying that I am beyond delighted with the results of my surgery. Life has taken on a new, crisp detail and I am so glad I did not wait to have it performed.

I really enjoyed my experience with Dr. Parker and his staff! They made it as comfortable and relaxing as they could for my lasik procedure. As someone who swore they would never have lasik they made it feel like it was just another visit to the doctor. Thank you Dr. Parker and staff!

Dr. Parker is definitely known to be among the best in his field, and after my LASIK I would 💯 agree. But his team throughout the process was knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. I had a great experience and am grateful for my vision.

Visited the office in Marion IL for my pre lasik testing. All went well he says, pick a date on this sheet that works best for you. Being from St Louis I wanted to drive to the city for a second opinion. Thankfully I did! I am NOT a candidate for LASIK, I must get PRK. Testing was much more thorough in St Louis. I’m so glad I went to one of the top doctors AND it was cheaper!

LASIK surgery with Dr. Parker and his staff at Eye Care Specialists in Cape Girardeau, MO is the only Physicians office I would entrust my sight to. He is the BEST in his field and his staff are the most professional. They made me feel comfortable and well taken care of through the whole process. I have worn glasses since I was 6 years old and right after surgery I was able to see just as if I had never needed glasses. If youre a candidate for LASIK eye surgery, I would highly recommend having Dr. Parker and his wonderful staff take care of you!

Very professional, takes care of you when you are a patient. Very skilled doctor. Only downside is how long you wait to see the doctor. If you have an appointment make sure you block off at least an hour and a half.

I was initially a little nervous having lasik never having had any type of medical procedure done before but the staff walked me through every step and addressed every hesitation and question. They are very knowledgeable and experienced, which greatly put my mind at ease. To those who feel as if lasik might not be an expense they can afford/justify I would encourage you to compare the cost of lasik to the yearly cost of contact lenses, glasses and eye care. For me, a quick run of the numbers showed that lasik was going to pay for itself when compared to what I had to spend in a years time on contacts. At the very least it never hurts to at least get a consultation and see what options you have. Freedom from contacts and being able to see clearly the second I open my eyes every morning has been worth every last penny!!
